Students
at the University of Scranton learn outside of the classroom, as
well as inside. A significant
part of the educational experience can occur through the
"hands-on" inquiry that takes place by participating in research
and other creative projects with faculty mentors through the
Faculty/Student Research
Program. Other
times the research and intellectual inquiry occur primarily at
the initiative of the student through upper-level research
courses that are part of the major, or as the result of being
involved in the
Honors Program.
However it is accomplished, the research process broadens and
deepens the educational experience substantially.
In
addition to supporting faculty research efforts, the
Office of Research Services (ORS)
endeavors to support student research activities. In early May
of each year we sponsor the
Annual Celebration of Student Scholars.
This day features displays of the outcomes of student research
efforts, as well as a reception at which we celebrate these
accomplishments. Along with such internal activities, we
encourage our students to participate in external research
conferences. Over the years, a number of University of Scranton
students have attended and presented posters or papers at the
National Conference on Undergraduate
Research (NCUR),
and many have presented papers
with faculty members at regional and national professional
conferences. ORS has some funds available for students to help
offset the costs of attendance at such conferences.
Student
research activities occur during the academic year and during
the summer. Individual faculty and students can apply for
internal summer support through the President's
Fellowship for Summer Research.
We also encourage students to investigate
external funding sources
for summer research support and to utilize
travel funds for
conferences.
